Yesterday my husband and I wanted to try some place new for breakfast so we decided to pop on over to Brookside and try The Crusty Croissant.  We both love bread, and adore croissants, so how could we go wrong? I decided upon the Breakfast Croissant ($6) which consists of eggs, cheddar cheese, choice of breakfast [...]

Turducken!  I first heard of it on Andrew Zimmern’s “Bizarre Foods”.  The word is fun to say and it’s even more fun to eat. Hebert’s Specialty Meats has the pleasure of serving up this dish that few dare to make.  I’m not sure if anybody else in Tulsa even makes turducken and I’m not sure if they should even try.  [...]

After our visit to the Tulsa Zoo’s HallowZOOeen last night, our family stopped into Casa Bonita for more fun and a hearty Mexican meal.

The Amish Kitchen doesn’t have a huge menu, but the charbroiled chicken, German and [...]

Before hitting the Ihloff fall benefit fashion show “Fables, Fantasy and Fairy Tales.  Once Upon a Time…,” the girls of Tasty Tulsa (Christine and I) stopped in to try out Tulsa’s Blue Dome district’s newest restaurant: Yokozuna. As part of the McNellie’s restaurant group, chef Tony Fialho adds an Asian touch to American favorites like pork chops and filet [...]

A few weeks ago I drove over to Brown’s Donuts and was disappointed to discover that the were under construction. This Wednesday morning I made a trip back and was pleased to find a very modern decor in this newly remodeled donut shop. Although the shop was shiny and new, I was disappointed to find [...]

Elmer’s has been proudly serving Tulsa for over 20 years.  Elmer’s doesn’t provide our town with Italian, Mexican, or even standard American food – Elmer’s is all about barbeque, and it just so happens that the food this region is most critical about is their barbeque.  I am relatively new to the area, but I like to think I [...]

My Pumpkin Pie Concrete was wonderful.  This creamy pumpkin custard had delicious pieces of pie crust in it and was almost as good [...]
